Probably the HPOP not keeping up with demand. If you were overboosting >24psi, the truck would defuel. To know for sure, you need to pull the codes with a good scanner.

My friend's 6oh can boost up to 32 psi what could cause it. Is it programed or vanes sticking.
I warned him not to overboost past 23 psi.

The 6.0 is vary different from the 7.3. You would have better luck asking in a 6.0 forum.

Depends on the tuner, some can remove the codes but a stock truck or one with a generic tune such as bully dog should hit it's limit around 24psi and defuel. Regardless, you need to pull codes to know for sure.

Are you measuring oil pressure with something other than the idiot gauge on the dash which only measures low pressure oil? Your injector could be part of the problem, causing the more oil use than normal resulting in a light for low oil pressure. We can only guess till you check your codes..

Did you pull the code while the light was on or after the fault cleared?
